Grey-fronted Quail-Dove

Geotrygon caniceps (Gundlach, 1852)

Columbidae — Pigeons, Doves

Grey-fronted Quail-Dove, Geotrygon caniceps, is a pigeon in the family Columbidae that breeds in Cuba. It is now thought to survive only along the island’s eastern edge and in the Sierra del Rosario in the west. It lives in wet forest, both old and regenerating, from low ground to 1,200 m. The species was once placed in Oreopeleia and was formerly treated as the same bird as the white-fronted quail-dove. It is monotypic.
